Hi. I was a member of the KLC substack for the first year and opted for the Vanish #1 comics under the subscription to be signed and sent to me in Australia. I was just wondering what the update on that happening is?

Hi. Any updates on shipping time frame for the Y1 subscriber physical perks? Thanks!

So if we just left our subscription renew for. Last year it will automatically adjust to the new subscription rate?

Hey! Just wanted to say that I'm excited for year 2 and though Year 1 had some unexpected things come I appreciate the open communication. I haven't been able to engage with all of the stuff you offer and hope to be a more present role in the community this next year! Shout out to the Supple boiz!

As a side note: super excited to see Donny and Ryan at Fan Expo Canada!

I guess my question would be knowing the International postage rates for exclusive items purchased through the new store as to whether subscribing again would be worth it. It might be great to get a discount on the book but if postage is 40USD+ then paying for the possible privilege might not be economic and I will just have to miss out.

We can’t figure out international shipping rates at this time, as we don’t know your location or what exactly our fulfillment methods will be just yet.

However, to clarify further, ANYONE, whether they are a free sub or paid sub, will be able to access the storefront. Paid subs this next year ($5 monthly OR $55 annual) will receive EARLY ACCESS and potential DISCOUNTS.

So if you want to be among the very first to be able to check out the merch we’ll be dropping on there, we think you’ll like the subscription.

This is great stuff. Excited for the future of KLC Press!

Two projects pushed from this year, two new unannounced projects for year two. Only one project came to fruition this year. Sounds like a 5 year plan for subscribers.

It was certainly never our intention to focus primarily on one title in this first year. And it certainly is not our intention to lead people on in the hopes of them continuing to subscribe. We are determined to deliver folks exactly what is promised to them in this next year.

The simple truth, in regards to your concern, is that in the comics industry AND personal/professional lives, things change and that could mean some projects take longer to come to fruition than initially anticipated. We are humans, not machines after all.

As you can see there are a few people that think their $300 could have been used better. We were excited about 3 projects that you kept promoting. Then oh never mind, how about another variant of the one we actually could get done. Expectations were not managed well, good advice for the future.

We showed off as much preview material as possible on those other projects, that's where things stand at the moment. We actually went over more than 3 projects over the last 51 weeks.

We appreciate the feedback and apologize that you were disappointed in the experience.

When will you guys start asking for shipping info for the vanish exclusives?

Expand full comment

As soon as we’ve settled on a fulfillment and distribution method! We’re figuring it all out now.

Y’all go hard, some would say too hard but not this guy. Ready for year 2, let’s go bb!

I just changed my membership from GOAT to the new annual since it was going to auto-renew next week. Will I still be getting all the GOAT membership from Year 1 since we haven't gotten anything physical yet?

Expand full comment

Yes! All annual and GOATs from year 1 will be receiving their physical books. Currently scheduled to be at the printer in early September, fulfillment in late September / early October.

Expand full comment

it would be nice if you could put out a video explaining what we were supposed to receive according to our tiers original, what we can expect now. I don't what I'm paying for anymore it's convoluted.

Expand full comment

We’ll be answering all questions in this weeks stream! Stay tuned.

So I take it this means that physical copies and incentives for year 1 are included in that no physical copies this year?

Expand full comment

I think I'm confused, what does this mean, when and how many copies of this book am I receiving...physical copies of the book. I paid for goat tier

We’ve addressed this a couple times in the past month or so. Most recently in THIS post: https://klcpress.substack.com/p/klc-press-poll-results-update?r=21otg&utm_medium=ios

It has some updates about Year One physical perks. The simple answer is, those who signed up for physical perks for Year One are STILL GOING TO RECEIVE THEM. We are figuring out fulfillment as we speak.

There are no physical perks formally through the Substack in Year Two, but the new storefront will have a bunch of great stuff everybody can purchase, and paid Year Two subs will get early access to those items as they become available.

Hope this helps!

thank you very much

Why won’t physical copies be out this year? Sounds like several issues will be out in stores before we get the physical copies if we want to wait for that……

“Not out this year”? Where does it say that?

They will hold them hostage until after you purchase a year two subscription.

Yeahhh… sadly I think you are right. Was thinking I’d get my physicals that were part of the perks so I could read them as they were released. Now I’m supposed to wait until…. Around at least issue #5-7 is out until I can read my “free” issue #1 physical? . Lesson learned I guess

Expand full comment

Sorry to disappoint, Andy, but #1 will be begin shipping out to subscribers just before it’s released in stores. So you’ll have it about 6-7 months earlier than you’re suggesting. Between fulfillment and shipping time you should be getting it within a few weeks of the street date.
